Located in Yuzhong District, 弱水咖啡国际青旅Only Cafe and Backpacker sits on top of a 31-floor building and offers great views of the city, river and mountains from an on-site café. It is just about 2 minutes' walk from Jiaochangkou Metro Station and around 5 minutes' walk from People's Liberation Monument. Guests can receive a cup of freshly grounded coffee upon check-in.

The location is very central, few minutes walk from Jiefangbei. The hostel itself is on 31st Floor, and need to take a lift to access. The staffs are very helpful. Checkin and check out process is smooth.

Everything. The staff, Lotti together with the other girls at the receptions, have been outstandingly kind and helpful - managing to arrange a tour for me with few hours notice. The location is unbeatable, the room clean and stylish, the vibe is great as in the whole Chongqing. No better place in town, trust me.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel has a great location, only a few minutes away from metro line 1. Everything in the central part of Yuzhong District is easily reachable and accessible. Sounds obvious, but it is a hostel, so you get what you pay for. In this sense, however, the private room that we had was a decent size with a huge bed, and the room is well-provided with electric sockets.

    This was one of the best hostels I have ever slept in. I failed to find this place first. But a staff took an elevator and helped me to find the hostel. One of the obvious advantages of this hostel is the roof location. You can just drink beer watching Chongqing on the 27th floor. I liked this experience. The staff here is very friendly, helpful and nice. If you want to have a comfortable staying in Chongqing, I would recommend you this place.
